Chapter 879: Chapter 867: Trying to Forcibly Take Qiao Jing Away
When Qiao Jing finished helping Zhan Qiaoyu with his bath, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin happened to return with the clothes they bought.
The sisters bought a heap of clothes with various styles, each looking great, clearly chosen with care.
Qiao Jing picked a set for Zhan Qiaoyu to change into, and seeing it was getting late, she took him to bed.
After lying down in bed, Zhan Qiaoyu scooted closer to Qiao Jing, snuggling tightly against her.
Qiao Jing raised her arm to hug him, pulling him into her embrace. Her voice unconsciously softened, “Go to sleep.”
Zhan Qiaoyu tilted his small face upward, blinking expectantly, and said, “Aunt Jing, can you tell a story?”
After a silent two seconds, Qiao Jing honestly replied, “I only know the story of the Three Little Pigs, which you’ve heard before. I don’t know any others.”
Hearing her words, the little fellow beca curious and asked in confusion, “Haven’t you read any other stories?”
Qiao Jing shook her head and said lightly, “I don’t really like reading fairy tales. This Three Little Pigs story was probably told to when I was very young.”
She vaguely rembered hearing it when she was young, told by a very close relative, but due to mory loss, she couldn’t recall who that person was…
Zhan Qiaoyu nodded, deep in thought.
He also didn’t like these things too much, in that sense, they were quite alike!
Thinking of this, a joyful smile spread across Zhan Qiaoyu’s small face.
He turned to hug Qiao Jing’s arm and coquettishly said, “Then can you tell the story of the Three Little Pigs again? I still want to hear it.”
Qiao Jing found it sowhat amusing, but since the little fellow wanted to hear it, she naturally told it again.
“Once upon a ti, Pig Mother had three cute little piggies. When the little pigs grew up, Pig Mother told them, you’ve grown up, and it’s ti for you to build your own houses…”
Listening to Qiao Jing’s gentle voice, Zhan Qiaoyu slowly closed his eyes.
Actually, he didn’t really want to hear any story; he just wished to fall asleep to a mommy’s gentle voice like other kids…
The next day, early in the morning.
Qiao Jing was awakened by a noisy commotion. She tucked the still sleeping little fellow in and then changed and walked out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin trying their best to block Jiang Zihong from barging into the suite.
Seeing Qiao Jing approaching, Jiang Zihong restrained the vicious look on his face, appearing slightly milder compared to when facing Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin.
Before Qiao Jing could say anything, he spoke self-importantly, “Qiao Jing, hiding in the Imperial Capital is useless. Many of the Qiao Family’s projects are already in my hands. If you don’t want your Qiao Family to crumble, you’d better obediently co with …”
Before Jiang Zihong could finish speaking, Qiao Lin couldn’t take it anymore.
She snorted coldly and abruptly cut off Jiang Zihong’s words, “Xiao Jing won’t go with you, so you might as well give up on this idea!”
Qiao Hong also spoke with irritation, “Jiang, let tell you, Master Zhou Fu wants to take our Xiao Jing as his disciple. If you don’t want to offend Master Zhou, you’d better stop harassing our Xiao Jing!”
What Qiao Hong said, Jiang Zihong completely dismissed, thinking she was just making it up.
He sneered disdainfully, “How can you say such things? Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”
After saying this, Jiang Zihong looked at Qiao Jing with a domineering tone, “I’m not that patient, I can’t wait for a month. I’ll co to get you in three days and we’ll get engaged imdiately!”
Leaving those words, Jiang Zihong gave a sinister smile and left with his entourage.
“Jiang Zihong, that scumbag, actually found his way here!”
Qiao Lin gritted her teeth and cursed, then worriedly looked at Qiao Jing, “What if in three days he really brings people over and tries to forcefully take you away like the last ti at ho?”
Qiao Hong was also very worried and imdiately suggested, “Why don’t we go ask Master Zhou for help?”
Qiao Jing remained silent for a mont, not responding.
She felt reluctant to seek Master Zhou’s help when she wasn’t willing to beco his disciple.
At this mont, Qiao Hong received a call from the company’s assistant.
She knew that with her father’s disposition, if sothing happened at ho, he wouldn’t tell them to keep them from worrying.
So, before setting off for the Imperial Capital, she secretly instructed the assistant to imdiately inform her of anything at ho and at the company.
After finishing the call with the assistant, Qiao Hong’s expression beca more severe.
Seeing this, Qiao Lin imdiately asked, “What’s wrong? Who called?”
“It was Dad’s assistant, saying soone is trying to forcibly acquire our Qiao Family’s company…”
Before Qiao Hong could finish speaking, Qiao Lin anxiously chid in, “Forcibly acquire? Who? The Jiang family?”
“The assistant said they didn’t know the real identity of the acquiring party, but there’s no doubt it’s Jiang Zihong’s doing!”
As she said this, Qiao Hong was furious.
Listening to their conversation, Qiao Jing realized the crisis facing the Qiao Family was imminent.
The only solution was to heed Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin’s suggestion, go to Master Zhou, and ask for his help.
Just as Qiao Jing thought this, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin suddenly turned to look at her.
Understanding their intention, Qiao Jing nodded and calmly uttered two words, “Let’s go.”
So, the three of them went to Wonderful Hall again.
When Zhou Fu saw Qiao Jing coming, he assud she had changed her mind, and a cheerful smile spread across his face.
But after hearing their reason for coming and the sudden willingness of Qiao Jing to disciple under him, his smile vanished, turning unhappy.
He looked at Qiao Jing and said solemnly, “I, Zhou Fu, am not one to take advantage of others. Only when you genuinely want to learn will I take you as my disciple.”
As soon as he said this, Qiao Lin beca as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Thinking about the situation at ho and the threat left by Jiang Zihong, she couldn’t care about anything else and directly said, “Master Zhou, our family is in a critical situation right now. If you don’t agree, in three days, my sister will be forcibly taken away by that rogue from the Jiang family and thrown into a life of misery!”
Qiao Hong also chid in with earnestness, “Master Zhou, please help us. We have no other choice, that’s why we ca to you.”
After a mont of silence, Zhou Fu said resolutely, “I understand everything you’ve said. The behavior of this Jiang family’s rogue is indeed despicable. I won’t stand by and do nothing about this.”
After he finished speaking, he paused and turned to look at Qiao Jing, “But, that’s a separate matter. We’ll talk about taking you as my disciple when you truly want it.”
Coming out of Wonderful Hall, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin both breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Lin, holding onto Qiao Jing’s hand, said with a sense of relief, “Although the apprenticeship didn’t pan out, Master Zhou still agreed to help. Now, we don’t have to worry so much.”
Qiao Jing nodded.
